I'm a freelance writer and videographer, and spend most of my days exploring Florida's natural wonders from a kayak, a bike or rambling down a hiking trail. A Florida native living in Citrus County, you'll often find me watching the boats go by on the Homosassa River. I'm always sharing stories, photos and videos, so follow along and together we'll discover Florida's natural treasures.
Come one, come all to the last open house for 2012 at Three Sisters Springs! Event is this Sat, Feb.11: http://t.co/CYi515em

You know all those cool parks and forests we have here in Florida? Well, they need a lot of maintaining - much more than the staff can provide. It takes a lot of people to make the places that we love to visit a beautiful and safe place to visit! Trail building, cleaning, guides - you name it. Volunteers do so much!
Saturday, Sept. 26, is the perfect time to chip in and show some love to Florida's public lands. Currently listed on the National Public Lands Day Web site are 41 locations needing volunteers for a variety of duties, ranging from trail maintenance to beach cleanup.
Hey, don't think you'll be alone in this endeavor - last year more than 120,000 people in 1,800 locations gathered together to support public lands. You'll come away with a great feeling of accomplishment from volunteering a little bit of time, and I'm positive you'll meet some like-minded people and develop lasting friendships.
